so after me and jaysen did the nose we both were addicted to el cap. neither of us had done c3 or ever used a hammer for beaks and such... so what better to do then zodiac! there was great weather (even used my down jacket a couple of times) and no crowds so it was smooth sailen! we took out 5 useless heads that were less then 2 inches away from bomb C1 placements. we decided to flip a coin on the ground and swap leads from there and off I went on the first pitch!

not so inspiring for a first peice
